residents would suffer from large airport project by- john mebride stouffville at this time of the year grade 8 students and their par ents are faced with an im portant decision which course to take in high school the purpose of this article and of a subsequent one is to outline the cours es available in the business and commerce branch fivcyear business and commerce this coming year stouff ville district secondary school hopes to offer an exciting new choice in the field of business education the fiveyear business and commerce course this is designed for those students who wish to carry their education beyond the secondary school level and who are planning a career in the field of business students graduating from the fiveyear course can follow any university pro gram in this program 20 per cent of the students time is spent on business sub jects while the rest of their time is devoted to the tra ditional fiveyear subjects after grade 9 the students have a choice of speciali zation in the business and commerce section of their curriculum they may elect to take either secre- tarian sciences or account ancy the secretarial course is a heavy course five op tions for pupils usually girls of superior ability however there are distinct advantages by the end of grade 11 students will be competent to undertake summer employment in the secretarial field a valuable method for fi nancing further education their secretarial skills paiticularly in shorthand and typewriting will be invaluable in other subjects botli at the secondary school level and at univer sity most importantly many of the more stimulat ing positions for women university graduates such as the foreign service and editorial work require secretarial skills which graduates of the fiveyear secretarial course will have before entering uni versity the accountancy course also a five option course is open to both boys and girls who are planning post- high school courses in commerce and finance business admipistration and chartered account ancy their business skills should also be sufficient to help finance further edu cation students in this course will concentrate on bookkeeping accountancy business machines and senior business options these subjects will give the students valuable back ground in all phases of business it is hoped that a suffi cient number of students will enrol in order that this course can be offered and that boys and girls planning a business career will carefuhy consider its advantages drama club readings for the new spring production of the stouffville drama club

mulholland 8953008 dear sir with regard to the pro posed airport which scar borough reeve ab camp bell recommends for ux- bridge twp i would point out that scarborough resi dents will certainly bene fit but markham picker ing and uxbridge resi dents will suffer and this accounts for mr camp bells enthusiasm recently on cbctv there was a film about air travel which demonstrat ed that airports of the fut ure will be a detriment to those communities where in they are built in west chester county of new york state and in new jersey residents strongly protested against the con struction of a new jetport a congressman was film ed while speaking to a group of citizens and said that hed never experienc ed such unamimous oppos ition to a proposal as hed seen when the federal authorities attempted to build an airport for new york city in the areas mentioned above these people have learn ed how dreadful almost totally unbearable life is when large jet aircraft are screaming in and out al most around the clock those who believe that airports attract traffic and therefore commerce are deluded idiots the traffic compares with swarms of black flies because it drives residents inside and forces them to stay there if clusters of motels erect ed by large american cor porations can be consider ed beneficial to the local inhabitants then yes air ports do attract commerce the only sensible fact in the uproar that such a pro posal creates is that it should be the reeve of scarborough who supports the idea overseas air craft would ostensibly approach the airport from the east and so scarbor ough might possibly sleep undisturbed by their arri val or departure but all of us within a radius of 25 miles will have to live with an ever increasing frequ ency of highdecibel tort ure for the rest of our lives if century city has to be within 25 miles of tor- onto then lets at least in sist on a new airport being further away where popu lation can be moved to the new city and the noise can be confined to a more des olate area in the north with monorail connections to toronto john richmond claremont ont nij rfauona riii sunspun brand ice cream loooam to 500 pm ticket also includes chance to
